Re: Laptop recognizes WiFI but fails to connect

I had severe issues with my wi-fi. Turns out basically the way network-manager [ab]uses the wireless card causes it to be highly unreliable/unstable. The failing to connect was a big symptom for me. The end solution was to stop using network-manager and start using WICD.
